What problem is the innovation trying to solve?

“Nearly 90% of small businesses in Ontario avoid working with a lawyer due to cost and complexity. This puts small businesses at a disadvantage to larger firms. Too often small businesses are structured improperly and use inadequate contracts, which can lead to serious ramifications as they grow.”
